For a temporarily solution : try to boot 'puppy pfix=nox'
entered after pressing F2 @puppy boot splash picture (F2,F3 for help) .
This would boot into the normal black'n'white console .
Then type 'xorgwizard' to run the old-fashioned /usr/sbin/xorgwizard , not the new /usr/sbin/xorgwizard-automatic .

Another forum member has problems with "smp" on his D255
Aspire netbook.

I miss in the first message an info where (url's) we can try to find some non official packages being compatible in supplement of those offered in http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/. I can't complete in the head of this thread as I did not see at time that this thread did start.

KbdVariant option «intl» works good and allows to write correctly a lot of other languages: áàäâãçñń¡¿«»ßś etc (only a small set of them!)

I did test divers *.pet's and *.deb's being yet a long time on my hard disk and find some working well and some refusing to work! but I can't remember where I did download them! and it would probably be without important as the url's of the divers non official depositories are in constant movement somewhere on the web

my one information to other concerning the compatibility:

refusing to work:

- merkaartor (cartography special program for OpenStreetMaps)
- qemu 9.1 (pls see later under pet's)

seem to work very well:sfs's:
- LibreOffice-3.4.0_en-GB.sfs
- wine-1.1.42-i486.sfs
- skype_static-2.1.0.81.sfs
pet's:
- qemu-0.91-launchscript-SDL-1.29.pet (starts and handles win 95 and it files)
- mtools-3.9.11-i486.pet
- K-Office_400-english.pet (I possibly did had the word «english» into the name! I can't remember any more...); Koffice 3.5 is very small (51 Mb pet > ab. 60 Mb installed if my observation is right; but the used *.pet freeze almost all other new puppy versions incl. «puppy next»! sorry. and in wary, it is not really necessary as abi, gnumeric, mTpaint and InkscapeLite are preinstalled! it would only be useful to complete a event. future «one bone» of wary 5.2!) compared with LibreOffice
- zim-0-23-1.pet
- dd_rescue-1.14.pet
- testdisk-6.11.3.pet
deb's:
- clex CLI file browser
- NtEd music editor
- links2 web and files browser (libx86-1_1.1+ds1-2_i386.deb was not enough and probably not necessary any more; I did install an other version over it); on my PC links2 can be started in wary 5.2 «after exit to prompt» outside Xwindows but the mouse don't works because svgalib needs an installation being a little tricky as very different from /etc/X11/xorg.conf!
- yap (small prolog programming language able to work with the pillow library from the clip software see http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Software/; yap is not dependant from ciao prolog but the pillow lib's are included in ciao! *.deb's from ciao are existing but a little tricky to find on the web...)
tar.gz's:
- Seamonkey 2.5 (a lib did be missed; start in konsole and see the error message)

concerning the last one (seamonkey) I did erase it from /usr/lib and install a link to /mnt/home/seamonkey/seamonkey and move it there. so it is really possible to actualize it without to have an unused version in the puppy_wary_5.2.sfs any more (as I did rebuild my puppy_wary_5.2.sfs actually about 250 Mb with all above changes). and in /root/.mozilla, I have also a link to /mnt/home/seamonkey/ . this directory in /mnt/home contains the old directory /root/.mozilla/seamonkey contained initially in /root/.mozilla, a super big directory because of saving there all emails and files from the emails (photos etc.)! it would really be better, puppy would always install this directory outside the little «save file» of puppy (so my «save file» as actually only 31 Mb where the free space is yet 16 Mb!). advantage: the puppy save file can be smart, all versions of puppy on the disc can use the same /mnt/home/seamonkey dir and if a puppy save file crashes the seamonkey setups are not affected! it is possible to do the same with skype files from /root/.skype etc. last word conc. the new version of seamonkey: the dictionaries are not all available on the download page of seamonkey but are yet included in the installations tar.gz's. so if you need more than one dictionary (I need Engl., French and German) you can try to fish them out the other tar.gz of the other language: only download in /root, hit on it and mark the parts «dictionary» and unzip in /mnt/home/seamonkey/seamonkey !

as I need merkaartor, I will try to find a way as don't want to quit wary to use it going to «puppy next 5.0.1», where merkaartor is working very well. if some one knows a way, I would appreciate it!

I search for a dropbox application (the actual official one needs «nautilus»)! If some one knows one, welcome!

The CUPS printing problem in Wary/Racy also appeared in Drake Puppy and the solution is the same. Any application that prints through the GTK print backend /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cups.so now needs the missing filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops. Trying to substitute a like-named program from another package simply won't work.

The attachment below contains the correct filter from a different build of CUPS 1.3.11.

I can confirm this patch works just fine._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB
